One Last Tear

As I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking of all my mistakes, unaware of the badness I've caused to make you hurt

Fell for you hard, now under a spell of confusion, lost & sad. 

Knowing your hurt, & my absence of not "being there" kills me more and more inside

Dreaming of the good memories, our many adventures, & intimate moments,

At every thought of you, I smile.

Feeling the many sleepless nights to come… 

I lie alone in bed as I cry my last tear

My Special Place

In the midst of darkness, the candle flickers, the breezy wind blows in through my bedroom window, I'm captivated within my thoughts of you.

I imagine us holding hands as we frolic our way into the sunflower fields, slowly picking at them as the thorns prick our sensitive fingers. Reading short stories to the newborn baby lambs in the barn, picking oranges and peaches.

Laughing, smiling, breathing, living….

At dusk we climb a small mountain, watching the colorful purply-blue, pinkish streaks of sun rays settle into the depths of the earth, saying goodnight as the moon rises up to greet us.

Resting under the twinkly stars & the bright moonlight sky.

We gaze upon the stars, you hold my hand, I look over, & you smile to me.

You part my hair from my eyes, look at me as my heart melts, thumps up & out of my chest.

 Overcoming sense of happiness, love and serenity flows through my blood & seeps deep into my skin.

I am in utter peace

Appreciate a Loved One

Sometimes the ones you care most for are the ones you neglect the most. It's easy to forget about the feelings and aspirations of those closest to you as you move around them daily and sometimes take them for granted. Appreciation of their presence in your life is always something worth stopping for, to take the time to reflect over and will rejuvenate the strength of your relationships.
